THE USE OF GLOBES.
A Wise Suggestion for Teachers and
Students Of Geography.

- vs.
Students Of Geography.
An English traveller was greatly
surprised to find the run from Pana-
ma to Valparaiso longer than that
from Bergen to the Straits Of Gibrai.
tar. When he was a schoolboy he had
learned his geography from maps. and
the maps had shown Europe on a larg'
or scale than that on which this CONT
nent was represented. 1t is all right
that the pupils own continent, state
or kingdom should be represented
more fully than other parts of the
world; it is that portion Of the globe
with which he needs to be the most
familiar. To show more Of the towns,
the roads, the stream and the hills, II
is necessary that the map be
drawn to a larger scale. If we tried to
put all the places and objects which we
might want to show in our wi county.
for instance, upon a map drawn to the
same scale as that upon which we show
the main features only Of q continent,
the county map would be so crowded
and confused that nothing could be dis
tinguishcd.
On the other hand, if we wanted to
show a continent on the same scale as
a county, the map would require a
larger sheet Of paper than we could
procure or handle. In order to cor
rect the erroneous impressions we get
from these maps which are drawn ia
different scales, we must either travel
OF correct the error by the use Of a
globe. The latter method is the easier
il not the more agreeable Of the two.
1t a be adopted at once. now that
paper globes are SO cheap that they
car be afforded in every family and
school.
Another difficulty with maps, which
is almost as serious as that arts.
ing from the use of different scales,
and one that can not be remedied. re.
suits from the attempts to show a
spherical surface upon a plane. We
may teach the pupil how to correct
the errors Of the map. but the brighter
the pupil the more distinct will be the
impression he has Of the apparent sit
uation Of places, and this impression
can never be overcome. Take the
maps on Mercator's projection, and
they distort the features of the earth
as our own features are distorted
when we look into q curved mirror.
The first lesson in geography should be
given upon the globe. and the use of it
should be continued through all the
pupils cours - YOUTHS Companion.
